<p>Our Father Who art in heaven; hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.

<p><h2>THE PRAYER OF THANKSGIVING</h2>
Let us give thanks to the beneficent and merciful God, the Father of our Lord, God and Savior, Jesus Christ, for He has covered us, helped us, guarded us, accepted us unto Him, spared us, supported us, and brought us to this hour. Let us also ask Him, the Lord our God, the Almighty, to guard us in all peace this holy day and all the days of our life.
O Master, Lord, God the Almighty, the Father of our Lord, God and Savior, Jesus Christ, we thank You for every condition, concerning every condition, and in every condition, for You have covered us, helped us, guarded us, accepted us unto You, spared us, supported us, and brought us to this hour.
Therefore, we ask and entreat Your goodness, O Lover of mankind, to grant us to complete this holy day, and all the days of our life, in all peace with Your fear. All envy, all temptation, all the work of Satan, the counsel of wicked men, and the rising up of enemies, hidden and manifest, take them away from us, and from all Your people, and from this holy place that is Yours.
But those things which are good and profitable do provide for us; for it is You Who have given us the authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and upon all the power of the enemy.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil, by the grace, compassion and love of mankind, of Your Only-Begotten Son, our Lord, God and Savior, Jesus Christ, through Whom the glory, the honor, the dominion, and the adoration are due unto You, with Him, and the Holy Spirit, the Life-Giver, Who is of one essence with You, now and at all times, and unto the ages of all ages. <b>Amen</b>.

<p><h2>PSALM 50</h2>

<SUP class="vnum">1</SUP> Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions.
<SUP class="vnum">2</SUP> Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.
<SUP class="vnum">3</SUP> For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me.
<SUP class="vnum">4</SUP> Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou judgest.
<SUP class="vnum">5</SUP> Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.
<SUP class="vnum">6</SUP> Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom.
<SUP class="vnum">7</SUP> Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
<SUP class="vnum">8</SUP> Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.
<SUP class="vnum">9</SUP> Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.
<SUP class="vnum">10</SUP> Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.
<SUP class="vnum">11</SUP> Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me.
<SUP class="vnum">12</SUP> Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit.
<SUP class="vnum">13</SUP> Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee.
<SUP class="vnum">14</SUP> Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation: and my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness.
<SUP class="vnum">15</SUP> O Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall shew forth thy praise.
<SUP class="vnum">16</SUP> For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: thou delightest not in burnt offering.
<SUP class="vnum">17</SUP> The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.
<SUP class="vnum">18</SUP> Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion: build thou the walls of Jerusalem.
<SUP class="vnum">19</SUP> Then shalt thou be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, with burnt offering and whole burnt offering: then shall they offer bullocks upon thine altar.
